Quoting, job costing, routings through machines, and make-to-order scheduling.
Every job starts as a quote, and the quote is a bet on how long the work will take. Material is bought or supplied, parts route through machines with setup and run times, and the schedule is a constant negotiation between promised dates and machine availability. The money is made or lost in estimating accuracy and in how much of the day the spindles are cutting.
Per-seat pricing applied to floor staff. If you have ten machinists and two office staff, a system charging one rate for everyone can cost several times more than one with a limited shop-floor seat. Statii charges £57.50 for a full user and £8.50 for a shop-floor user, on top of a £110 monthly system license. Always ask whether that split exists.
Do you need full MRP here?
Usually secondary. For most job shops, scheduling and job costing matter more than material planning, because material is bought per job rather than planned across a horizon.
